There are no through trains running from Pasco to Auburn, only the Pasco-Yakima Valley local. There have been several work trains running up the pass from the Westside, stopping at Easton, Cle Elum and/or Ellensburg.
There is however a test train operating on the pass for the last week, testing various aspects of the new ETMS system. There are seven locos spilt on on either end of a ballast/rock train.
